In this course, we will be discussing the steps any artist can take to create a creature in Adobe Photoshop, from sketch/concepts to final production. We will be discussing choosing sketches, setting up your workspace in Photoshop, using layer options, setting up actions, and how to use masks and symbols to preserve your work, while setting up your personalized workstation.

We will then go into rendering using Adobe Photoshop with light support from additional textures. We will then discuss using painting techniques and the right brushes to get our final look. After this course you will walk away with new technical skills to enhance your workflow in Adobe Photoshop, while improving your rendering skills as well.
